Chapter 10

I'm SORRY! I know I'm never around, but can you please forgive me!? I Promise to finish it and I well!

Lol on with the chapter….

Donatello wanted nothing more than to return to his brothers and father. He had woken up forgetting where he was. For a moment he thought he heard his brothers walking up the old creaky steps of their home. Setting up and feeling the cold floor of his new dwellings, he knew he wouldn't see them for a while. It was dark.

He kept hearing something beyond his dwelling. The sound of metal being shaped by skilled hands, the hum of machinery, voices muffled by the walls. It was always the same frustrated voices, bickering at each other. He remembered the dream he'd just woken up from. Raphael and Leonardo at each other's throats. Nothing sort of unusual, but he remembered a great heaviness as he saw the two. There was something else present in the dream, but it slipped away, as all dreams do.

Day 4 or is it 5?Maybe 8?

He wanted to keep track of the hours, even marking the walls with dashes, but the light was so dim, and it sometimes grew so dark, that he couldn't be sure if it was the sun, moon, or city lights coming through that small crack above him.

"MAYBE IF I WASN'T STUCK WITH DIMWITS LIKE YOU!"

This time he heard the voice load and clear. It was DR. Stockman.

Donatello became alert; even now Dr. Stockman's pounding steps could be heard coming closer.

What now?

Something nearby clicked, and the door soon opened. Light poured in and Donatello squinted, but he could make out the man's figure. It wasn't Hun, at least.

"Okay, you say you've studied my work before?"

The question came so quickly, that Donatello found himself incapable of responding.

Dr. Stockman seemed to realize this. Rolling his eyes he asked again " You have studied my work?"

"Y-yes, o-of course."

" Well, you seem as good an intern as any."

"What?" Donatello said, shocked.

"What?" he heard a shout coming from behind Dr. Stockman. He marched towards DR. Stockman, his face red.

"You are joking! I won't stand for this kid knowing about this project! Shut that kid inside that room! Leave him there to die!"

Huns booming voice made Donatello step back, but DR. Stockman brushed him off. He fluffed out his white lab coat, and holding his nose high he looked at Hun, and muffled out "hmph!"

" As generous as the Foot Clan is by providing my own personal body guard, they have failed to provide me with someone competent enough to work with a genius like myself. Even I need some help."

"Are you insane? Don't you have any respect for our master?" he shouted.

Dr. Stockman mockingly sighed, looked at his watch, and tapped his foot.

"Yes, yes. Honor and all, respect, heard you use that speech before." He yawned "Still need an assistant in this project, and he's the only one within range that seems to have at least one brain cell functioning, besides myself of course."

"Why you! I'll-I'll-"

"You'll what? Beat me to a bloody pulp? Your master needs my brains, more than he needs your brawn. You there boy, get moving!"

Donatello couldn't believe what had just unfolded before his eyes, but it was right in front of him. Dr. Stockman, Donatello knew now, was a madman. He took a moment to think about it.

Help him? But with what? Who is The Foot? Do they have anything to do with the Purple Dragons? Are they the ones keeping me here? For what?

A thousand questions ran through his mind. He was curious, but most of all he wanted a change in the game. No more waiting in a dark hole for something to happen. If he could see more of this building, than there was a better chance of escaping.

Just play along, Donnie.

With that, he stepped out of his dark prison, and into the light.

You know I really grew to like Stockman of the new series, he was always very arrogant, which is kinda fun to see in a bad guy.

Here I tried to portray him as being arrogant. I think that he only works with the villains, not because he cares about their agenda, but because they offer him unlimited access to resources, and allow him to go as far as he wants with his research without "ethical restraints". I decided that he "hires" Donnie, more for the fact that he's bored (despite the lines I gave him), than for the fact that he needs assistance. First, it gets on Huns nerves, and second, it gives him someone to boss around.

I have a strange sense of humor, so I thought this chapter was absurd and funny. Don't know what the readers might think though.

I know this is an AU, so I'll be taking some liberties when it comes to some characters, however, if it gets too ooc , or confusing let me know. Once again, criticism welcomed! Especially with embarrassing spelling mistakes. Thank you!

Also what do you want to see happen with this story? I've asked a few readers before, so I'm open to anything,,,if ya know what i mean *winkwink*...lol.

Also, I'm excited to see what Nick does with the turtles, the new show seems very cartoony compared to the last one.
